I am a marine biologist, writer and broadcaster based in Cambridge, UK which is a very long way from the sea...
Please explore my website for details of my experience and interests.

I am currently available for science and natural history broadcasts and publications covering broad topics of biological sciences and specialising in marine science, conservation and environmental issues.

Latest in June 2009...

For my PhD from Cambridge University I specialised in tropical marine conservation and the international trade in coral reef fish, in particular a beautiful big fish called the Napoleon or humphead wrasse. Following my PhD I've worked for various conservation organisations including English Nature (now Natural England), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and TRAFFIC International.

I have 7 years experience in writing and broadcasting science. I regularly write for National Geographic News, I'm a panel member on BBC Radio 4’s Home Planet programme and regular presenter on The Naked Scientists on BBC Radio in eastern England.

And in case of any confusion, my maiden name is Hendry.
